TomTom announced the IQ Routes technology and Advanced Lane Guidance which will feature on the TomTom GO 930 personal GPS navigator. Here is more info on the GO 930 and the IQ Routes:

"The innovative IQ Routes technology is based on actual average speeds measured on roads, rather than posted speed limits. This means that the new TomTom GO range determines a route by considering all possible routes and then selecting the one that takes the least time based on recent historical data. In almost 50% of all journeys, this results in a faster route, and saves significant travel time, fuel, and money. In addition, the new TomTom GO series includes TomTom?s Advanced Lane Guidance feature. Advanced Lane Guidance provides users with realistic representations of complex highway junctions and lane-specific visual directions that take the stress out of navigating these otherwise difficult junctions.

The two new features will be available with the new TomTom GO series, the TomTom GO 930 and TomTom GO 730, starting at the end of April 2008. For more info visit www.tomtom.com

TomTom IQ RoutesThe new TomTom IQ Routes technology is based on actual average speeds on roads,rather than the posted speed limits. This intelligent routing technology is based onanonymous historical speed profiles of over 6.2 billion miles of driven roads, gatheredover the years by millions of TomTom users. It takes into account all the factors thatmay influence the time it takes drivers to get to their destination, including traffic lights,rotaries, steep slopes and speed bumps.

The TomTom IQ Routes speed profile database continues to grow at the rate of overhalf a billion measurements per day, so the time and spatial accuracy of TomTom IQRoutes technology will continually increase. Drivers can be confident that they willalways be given the smartest route, incorporating detailed local knowledge. This allowsfor more efficient daily route planning, in particular when driving through urban andmountainous areas.

Advanced Lane GuidanceWith the new Advanced Lane Guidance feature, navigating difficult junctions becomeseasier than ever before. Advanced Lane Guidance provides users with realistic visuals ofcomplex highway junctions and lane-specific directions. Static images of road signs, inthe same color as the ones displayed on the road, ensure that drivers have an even morerealistic view of the road ahead, and their specific route.
